I had the pleasure of knowing Ejay. There is nothing he wouldnt do to help someone. I lived momentarily with him all the way to working with him and he was always there ready to take on whatever it may have been. You will be missed my friend. Rest easy

We just talked not long ago and we blessed and loved each other. My last message from you was a random "I love you Shelly" and I will carry that wherever I go. You were like family and I always reminded you of that. You had a big heart and kept your circle small. So glad I was a part of that closeness. May you rest in peace knowing the fight is over. No more worries. No more pain. The Lord needed you my friend. See you again one day my special friend. ❤

EJay i cant express what an impact you had on so many lives. I will forever miss you. From the goofy texts to just sitting in the car having seriose conversation. So many times since you passed I've wanted to pick up the phone and call you. You always had a way of making everything seem ok. Ill miss talking about your family and how much they meant to you. I just didnt have enough time with you.
